People here are saying you must write a lot to get good. Makes sense. But what about also reading a lot to learn from masters?

How do LLMs do it? They don't learn by writing a lot they learn by reading a lot.

Literally they learn by both, training process is filled with "exercises" for the weights to be shaped by, not just "seeing" tokens :) At least the typical LLM that outputs tokens have to actually "practice" doing so.

True. Just saying we learn not only by lots of trial and error, but also by trying to imitate others.
